Annual cost of owning a Samoyed puppy

Before buying a puppy it is important to understand the associated costs of owning a dog. The annual cost or "upkeep" is often overlooked when determining a Samoyeds true ownership cost. When calculating your budget make sure you account for the price of food, vaccines, heartworm, deworming, flea control, vet bills, spay/neuter fees, grooming, dental care, food, training and supplies such as a collar, leash, crate, bed, bowls, bones, and toys. All of these items can add up quickly so make sure you estimate anywhere from $500 - $2,000 or more for the first year then about $500 - $1,000 or more every year thereafter to meet the annual financial obligations of your growing, loving dog.

How do you know that a breeder is legitimate and not a scam artist? Are these breeders all verified? I'm nervous to send a deposit.

If they don't give you a location- they have things on their website that say click here for payment or try to get you to pay online. Also, for whatever dog you're looking for, look up pictures of that dog, if someones website has a picture you've seen don't trust them. This is why it's best to see the breeder face to face.

There are many ways to figure out if a breeder is legitimate or not. Your gut will be one of them. Make sure that their dogs registration numbers match with the actual registration company they are registered with. Ask for previous puppy owners names and numbers; contact them and ask about their experiences and their dogs now. Ask for their vet information and call, make sure their dogs are healthy and that they regularly bring their dogs and puppies to the vet. Get a recite for everything, including a deposit and a written contract with both signatures on it.

The average price of a Samoyed puppy is between $1000.00 - $1500.00; but that does not mean that a puppy can not cost less or more. Breeders price their puppy's compared to what other breeders in their area price at, the pedigree of the puppy (ie: if the dam and sire are champions or not), if the puppy can be registered, if the puppy is a pet or has breeding rights, and what testing has been done on the dam and sire to off-set the cost of creating the litter in the first place.

At about a year and a half, your dog should be fully grown. It takes about a year for your dog to mature in height and then another six months to mature in muscle.

Are Samoyeds good for seniors?

Yes. Samoyeds are calm and gentle and don't jump up on you unless you ask them to. My Samoyed would pull my wheelchair when I was crippled and loved to go to retirement homes and hospitals. They'll love you, grandchildren too, as well as the rest of the family; but if you are his owner/caretaker, he will probably mind only you. My relatives hated that they couldn't boss him around, but it made me love him all the more. We were together 24/7 for the 12 years that he lived, and when he passed away--it broke my heart worse than anything else ever did.
